||| FROM SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS |||

Mark your calendar for the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank’s Fall Native Wildflower Sale. Buyers can reserve plants online September 13 – 19 and pick them up on Saturday, October 3 on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez islands. Plants are produced locally by the Salish Seeds Project, a joint program of the Land Bank and the San Juan Preservation Trust.

This year’s sale features many old favorites including Douglas aster, broad-leaf sedum, red-flowering currant, and seed packets of wildflower meadow mix. Some new offerings include blackcap raspberry, woodland strawberry, and beach pea. Many plants are in biodegradable pots that can be planted.

An advance guide to the sale is available now on the Salish Seeds Project webpage (accessed through the Land Bank’s website at sjclandbank.org)  When the sale opens online at 9am on Sunday, September 13, look for the WILDFLOWER SALE tab in the website’s menu bar.

For anyone seeking tips on gardening with native species, the Land Bank has produced a helpful guide, “Growing Native Wildflowers in the San Juan Islands”.  It’s available in digital format on the Salish Seeds project webpage or pick up a printed copy for free at the Land Bank’s Friday Harbor office.

The price per plant offsets the cost of production, allowing the Land Bank to provide this community service. Quantities are limited so shop early to avoid disappointment.
